]]>Comment on Dead Space 2 – it’s just crap by Akuviushttp://www.studiousoctopus.com/?p=298#comment-106409
Wed, 21 Sep 2016 18:13:42 +0000http://www.studiousoctopus.com/?p=298#comment-106409Is this article a bait? I know I write some 5 years too late, but I find this criticism rather ridiculous. Dead Space 2 does many things right, and even if one doesn’t like the game, it’s a solid 7.5 game -at the very least-. There’s a lot of undeniable quality in this game, whether you personally like it or not. To me this doesn’t seem like an objective review at all, but purely an opinion, a cry out of frustration. I didn’t find the game hard at all, and I’m hardly a good gamer. There was so much ammo in normal difficulty that you really need to miss most of your shots if you’re lacking ammo. Besides, kinesis is an effective tool in this game, not to mention you have stasis aka godmode. Seriously, how do you die in this game?

Personally I found that DS2, while it had only minor changes, it had improved a lot since the first game. I found the pacing much more seamless and mission structure much less repetitive, or at least it was more subtle about it. I can’t quite pinpoint the reason, but this second game doesn’t quite feel as ‘tense’ or scary as the first one, even though it now has darker levels – maybe that’s one thing I could consider a downgrade.

This item also had the same weird packaging feel that the Lollipops Lip Balm from the July 2015 box had – when it’s full, you can still squeeze the packaging a fair amount and just push […]

SEK is the abbreviation for Swedish Krona, by the way. 🙂
